Police are appealing for the public’s help to trace a missing woman, believed to be from the Reading area.

Charlene Davies, 31, discharged herself from the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford against doctor’s orders on Friday, July 16.

She took a taxi from the hospital to the Oxford train station, where she boarded the 9.37am train with a ticket to Reading. Since then Thames Valley Police has been unable to trace her movements or her whereabouts to check her welfare.
